The Washington Commanders, formerly the Washington Redskins, are undergoing defensive changes under head coach Ron Rivera. Rivera, now in charge of the defense, aims to create more 1-on-1 opportunities for the defensive tackles, streamline the defense, and increase movement upfront. This shift follows the departure of defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. Rivera has sought input from players as the team looks to improve its defensive performance, which has been lacking in December. The changes are part of the team's efforts to address its defensive struggles.
